Definitions

  • the invention is based on a priority application EP 08 300 150.3 which is hereby incorporated by reference.
  • the invention relates to a method for transferring data from a sensor over a computer network, the method comprising the steps of receiving from the sensor a signal representing a physical quantity, encoding the signal, converting the signal into a message, and transmitting the message over the computer network, a device for transferring data from a sensor over a computer network, the device comprising means for receiving from the sensor a signal representing a physical quantity, means for converting the signal into a message, and means for transmitting the message over the computer network, and a computer program product comprising a computer usable medium including a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to receive from a sensor a signal representing a physical quantity, encode the signal, convert the signal into a message, and transmit the message over a computer network.
  • a sensor is a device which measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an instrument.
  • a sensor When referring to its capability of detecting a parameter in one form and reporting it in another (usually an electrical or digital signal), a sensor is sometimes referred to as a “transducer” in the art.
  • sensor web an amorphous architecture of spatially distributed sensor platforms, so-called pods, that wirelessly communicate with each other to facilitate environmental monitoring and control.
  • a downside of the known solution is its inability to transfer sensor and application data in a single network message. This makes it difficult to incorporate the transmission of sensor data into complex solution architectures with multiple interacting applications.
  • An object of the invention is thus to propose an improved approach to sensor data transmission using state-of-the-art network protocols.
  • a method for transferring data from a sensor over a computer network comprising the steps of receiving from the sensor a signal representing a physical quantity, encoding the signal, converting the signal into a message, and transmitting the message over the computer network, a device for transferring data from a sensor over a computer network, the device comprising means for receiving from the sensor a signal representing a physical quantity, means for converting the signal into a message, and means for transmitting the message over the computer network, and a computer program product comprising a computer usable medium including a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to receive from a sensor a signal representing a physical quantity, encode the signal, convert the signal into a message, and transmit the message over a computer network.
  • the main idea of the invention is the transmission of sensor data by means of a network message header.
  • a header is meant supplemental data placed at the beginning of the network message. Headers are traditionally used to store and transmit information for the handling of the message.
  • sensor data can be transferred along with application data contained in the body of a message.
  • message body sometimes called “payload” in the art, is meant the data following the message header.
  • a signal representing a physical quantity is first received from the sensor.
  • the signal is then converted into a message by encoding the signal into a message header and combining this header with a given or generated message body. Finally, the resulting message is transmitted over the computer network.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a method according to an embodiment of the invention for transferring sensor data over a computer network.
  • FIG. 2 shows an example of an HTTP request transmitted by a software program according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 3 shows an example of a SIP INVITE request transmitted according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 4 shows an example of a SOAP message transmitted according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • the embodiment of the given example is assumed to take the form of a software program. It is understood that an alternative embodiment may take the form of a hardware device or a combination of software and hardware components.
  • the software program receives a signal representing a distance from a proximity sensor to a target object.
  • the signal takes the form of an electrical voltage.
  • the voltage may be defined only on a discrete set of times; in this case, the signal is referred to as a time series.
  • the voltage may be a continuous-time signal.
  • the signal may be analog or digital, depending mainly on the type of sensor employed.
  • the program encodes the signal of step 101 into a first message header.
  • the first message header typically comprises an absolute measure of the physical quantity of step 101 .
  • This absolute measure may be supplemented by information such as a unit of measurement, precision, margin of error, confidence level, resolution, or full scale range of the sensor at hand.
  • information can be used to indicate the engineering tolerance, that is, the permissible limit of variation in the physical quantity measured, to imply a numeric accuracy of the nominal value.
  • the signal originating from a distance sensor may be encoded in the form “2.743+/ ⁇ 0.001 meters”, assuming a symmetrical tolerance.
  • the encoding of step 102 results in a textual representation for use in a resulting text message.
  • the embodiment of FIG. 1 encodes a sensor identification into a second message header.
  • the identification may take the form of a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID).
  • UUID is an identifier standard used in software construction, standardized by the Open Software Foundation as part of the Distributed Computing Environment.
  • An advantage brought about by the use of UUIDs as sensor identification is the ability of the recipient to combine received sensor data into a single database without needing to resolve name conflicts.
  • UUIDs are documented in ITU-T Rec. X.667
  • the IETF has published Proposed Standard RFC 4122 that is technically equivalent with ITU-T Rec. X.667
  • step 104 to indicate to the recipient the type of information delivered by the sensor, the embodiment of FIG. 1 encodes a class identification into a third message header.
  • That class identification comprises a description of the physical quantity of step 101 , for example, temperature, speed, pressure, or voltage.
  • the class identification further comprises operational conditions of the sensor, for example, the current state in case of a proximity sensor that requires starting from a known distance and accumulating incremental changes in measurement.
  • the class identification indicates a data format of the message, particularly the message headers of steps 101 through 103 .
  • an alternative embodiment may only supply a numerical or symbolic class identification and require the recipient to resolve it by consulting a public directory or central sensor class database.
  • the IEEE 1451 standard provides an example of such a directory.
  • step 105 to provide a human recipient with further information on the message or sensor data contained therein, the embodiment of FIG. 1 encodes a comment into a fourth message header.
  • the comment is typically transmitted in human-readable form and may comprise semantic information on the physical quantity of step 101 .
  • An exemplary comment is “Distance from Mona Lisa painting” for a proximity sensor located in a museum of art.
  • steps 102 through 105 may alternatively be stored in a different set of message headers or compressed into a single message header without deviating from the spirit of the invention.
  • some or all of the message headers may be encrypted for transport.
  • Transport Layer Security and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer are examples of crypto-graphic protocols commonly used for encrypting HTTP requests and responses.
  • step 106 the program combines the message headers of steps 102 through 105 with a message body comprising application data for transferring along with the sensor data, resulting in a complete self-contained message according to the underlying network protocol.
  • the order of message headers suggested by the numbering in steps 102 through 105 is in no way binding on the resulting message structure.
  • the order of headers may be permuted arbitrarily without contravening the spirit of the invention.
  • step 107 the program transmits the resulting message of step 106 over the computer network.
  • Transmission makes use of the Transmission Control Protocol, User Datagram Protocol, Stream Control Transmission Protocol, or any other transport protocol suitable for the underlying network.
  • FIG. 2 shows an example of an HTTP request 200 transmitted by a software program according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • the message headers of steps 102 through 105 according to FIG. 1 are represented using the HTTP-header and message-header protocol elements.
  • the corresponding specifications define a number of HTTP headers themselves, and also provide for extension through the use of new HTTP field-name protocol elements.
  • the embodiment makes use of the field-name “X-Sensor-Tag”.
  • the resulting sensor information header 202 is combined with the standardized HTTP headers 201 and prefixed to said application data.
  • FIG. 3 shows an example of an INVITE request 300 according to SIP, the request being transmitted according to a further embodiment of the invention.
  • SIP is an application-layer control (signaling) protocol for creating, modifying, and terminating sessions with one or more participants. It can be used to create two-party, multiparty, or multicast sessions that include Internet telephone calls, multimedia distribution, and multimedia conferences.
  • the IETF specifies SIP in Proposed Standard RFC 3261.
  • the sensor information header 202 is combined with the standardized SIP headers 301 and a SIP session description 303 .
  • the session description 303 complies with the Session Description Protocol, which is specified by the IETF in Proposed Standard RFC 2327. Transmitting request 300 invites the recipient to initiate an audio session described in session description 303 .
  • FIG. 4 shows an example of a SOAP message 400 transmitted according to an even further embodiment of the invention.
  • a SOAP header 402 containing the acquired sensor information is combined with a SOAP body 403 containing a body element with a local name of “GetStockPrice”. While the SOAP header 402 might be of use to SOAP intermediaries as well as the ultimate destination of the message, the body 403 contains the actual message payload.
  • SOAP header 402 and SOAP body 403 are both contained in the SOAP envelope 401 , the envelope 401 being the outermost element information item of the SOAP message 400 .
  • An exemplary application of an embodiment of the invention is an audio, video, or multimedia guide system for a visitor attraction such as an art exhibition or museum collection.
  • a guide provides a commentary to the exhibits displayed, normally through a handheld device like a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) or smart phone.
  • PDA Personal Digital Assistant
  • State-of-the-art PDAs are typically equipped with web browser software as well as short-range over-the-air technology such as Bluetooth or radio-frequency identification (RFID).
  • RFID radio-frequency identification
  • a proximity sensor is mounted close to an exhibit, that sensor could transfer its data over the wireless network using a method according to the invention.
  • the PDA Upon approaching the exhibit and associated sensor, the PDA could use the received sensor data for generating an HTTP request 200 to a web server provided by the museum or exhibition site.
  • the returned HTTP response (not depicted) may then be used to display location-based information educating the user on the exhibit at hand.
  • Alternative embodiments of the invention may use a SIP request or SOAP message instead of
